Dear Cohenites,

I am still in the learning phase of Photoshop (and will be in the next ten years, I guess). When I saw this tutorial of an old notebook and photographs scattered around it, I knew this must be a Leonard Cohen-themed picture. It has no artistic value whatsoever, I post it for the addicts to enjoy.

The text is random lines quoted from different songs, I put them together to tell a different story.

This is the normal, wallpaper size.

wow thank you thank you that´s what I´ve always wanted on my display....
hope you ain´t too serious about copyrights

Thank you very much, Lizzy! I'm really glad you enjoy it. I was a bit afraid to be called blasphemous to jumble the poems this way, I hope nobody's feelings are hurt!

There is no copyright, frame it, use it and distribute it at your will!

Oh, by the way, I have a wide-screen monitor, so I could not test this non-widescreen picture. If it does not fit as a background, tell me and I will resize it.

I modified the size to fit a standard screen and changed the beads in the middle. I like these better

Hello fellow Kate!!!!

I like the details in this from the coffee cup (looks like a mocha maybe) to the Goodbye Marianne on the postcard.

very cool.

It's great that you noticed (it tasted like capuccino to me), I hid those little surprises, indeed. My favourite one is the scotchtape, by the way. Not that you wouldn't look at the pic for the second time for other reasons ... I know, you mainly like the man for his work, but still

Thank you for the welcome! I noticed you as well, Cate, but fortunately we spell our names differently. It is not my real name, actually, I borrowed it from a starfleet captain, a powerful woman who is in command of an entire spaceship

Hi Captain Kate,

I love your montage (especially the last one).

PS: We are quite fond of powerful women around here

These are soooooo amazing Kate. Thank you, thank you , thank you!

Thank you for all the kind words, you are amazing!

Imaginary Friend, most women are powerful, or have to be. Maybe it is just the women I am surrounded with

I hope you don't mind if I share another one.This is a portrait I drew some weeks ago. It is not a particularly good drawing, I just loved the original picture.

Captain Kate... don't undermine yourself. That is a fabulous drawing and you should be very very proud. Keep your art coming here. I love it!

You are very kind, thank you! I love it when he sings with that deep involvement!
